The 10 WORST Horror Films of Bollywood

Creepy ghouls attacking an unsuspecting party of people stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Spirits taking possession of a living body and wreaking havoc with their furious behaviour.

Clearly, it's no task to outline the horror archetype in Bollywood. While filmmakers in Hollywood, South Korea and Japan have explored its potential to scare beyond belief, Hindi films are still stuck in the 'jaadu tona' and 'tabeez' rut.

Between yielding 'too few' and 'too grotesque', only a handful of filmmakers have succeeded in updating the formula. And the latest to disappoint is director Vikram Bhatt with the recently released Horror Story, which miserably fails to match the scares of 1920 and Raaz.

On that dreadful note, here's a look at 10 of Bollywood's Worst Horror films.

Bhoot Returns

After the compelling multi-starrer about a young woman possessed by a vengeful spirit in her own apartment, Ram Gopal Varma delivers a lazy sequel that rips off Paranormal Activity and combines it with same old ploy of spooked kid in a hostile bungalow interacting with the only child in the family.

Help

Now a pregnant woman is possessed by her evil twin sister's spirit in this highly bizarre horror flick starring Bobby Deol and Mugdha Godse, which scrapes off bits and portions from the likes of The Ring, The Grudge and Mirrors to serve its purpose.

Only Help, with its predictable tricks and lousy performances, is neither frightening nor fun.
